In 2015 TESA donated a Quadcopter to assist with security and anti-poaching efforts. The 4x multirotor machine has a 30 minute fly time along a good range. A 9inch coloured screen helps the team keep a close eye on what is going on. You really can’t beat that “eye in the sky”. The quad itself is fitted with a Go-Pro 4 silver which is giving clear footage. Thanks to Reserve Protection Agency RPA a Infer Red camera will soon be fitted that will offer day and night vision too. It’s one of it’s kind in the Eastern Cape and it is hoped that with funding TESA can look at purchasing more in the future to assist other APU’s in the area. Thanks to Scott Multby of MultirotorSA for the expertise and support in building this amazing technology. TESA is proud to be associated with MultirotorSA. 3 camera traps were also donated to the anti-poaching unit for security purposes.
